Phage therapy—application of bacteria-specific viruses to reduce densities of pathogenic or
nuisance bacteria—is a two-step process involving phage penetration to target bacteria …

Biofilms are matrix‐enclosed communities that represent the most dominant and active
mode of microbial life on Earth. Because biofilms are inherently more productive than any …

Abstract Treatment wetlands have become an attractive option for the removal of nutrients
from municipal wastewater effluents due to their low energy requirements and operational …

The success of bioaugmentation processes for groundwater bioremediation requires
efficient transport of bacteria in the subsurface environment. In this paper, the factors that …

Subsurface flow ecotechnologies encompass a range of different designs, varying in terms
of flow configuration, media type, energy requirements and use of wetland plants. This study …

Monitoring of a constructed wetland receiving episodic pulses of subsurface drainage
waters from grazed dairy pastures showed good nitrogen reductions, but moderate …

The idea of using constructed wetlands for the treatment and improving of wastewater
emerged in the second half of the last century. Despite relatively wide use of this …

Increasing the demand for potable water, followed by the high quantity of discharged
effluents linked with the water scarcity problems has necessitated giving more attention to …

Biofilms are microbial communities growing on surfaces, and are ubiquitous in nature, in
bioreactors, and in human infection. Coupling between physical, chemical, and biological …

The association of Cryptosporidium oocysts with biofilm communities can influence the
propagation of this pathogen through both environmental systems and water treatment …
